A few years back I was trying to get a show on the local PBS station, "restoring" an old truck the crude way.Like in a cluttered garage, using tools the typical home restorer or rodder uses, nothing beyond a grinder, welder and torch set.No billet,nothing store bought.With some comic relief, like the "hick" on the old PBS show The Woodwright ,miss with a screw driver amd make a gouge, opps.
The hardest part was finding a suitable filming location,the station and myself had limited funding.Then they lost interest,a new manager thought none one would care for a guy in a t- shirt hacking on a truck.
